SUMMARY
Hi everyone, I am recently using KDE Neon, because i absolutely fall in love with KDE Plasma DE, super modern and lightweight, it work great on my machine, no problem after upgrade. But one problem is known when typing Asian characters with Ibus or Fcitx in KDE/Qt app, so i can't type Vietnamese in KDE/Qt app like Dolphin, Kwrite, Kate...but Firefox and Libre Office work fine. What can i do to type Vietnamese with Ibus engine or Fcitx engine in KDE/Qt app? because i really love the set of KDE default app. I read somewhere that is a package call "ibus-qt" need install to fix this bug, but i can't find a packafe like that in Discover repo. I need your help, please!

You can try to find fcitx-frontend-qt5 in Discover. If you can find it and it installs successfully, then you should be able to use fcitx in KDE/ Qt applications. 
However, if you can find the package but it fails to install (due to dependency problem), then you may have to build the package yourself (refer to the forum post link I posted above).
